Tim,

You're just digging a bigger hole for yourself. David Brooks defending Ronald Reagan is not going to persuade folk like me. If you could find a reasonable nonpartisan source or even a Dem partisan source that takes your position, then I might take a serious look.

LBJ said it best when he signed the voting rights bill (I think), one of those at any rate, at which he said the Dems have given up on the south after that. Prescient, as they say.

And Nixon ran with that ball; campaigned with that in mind; I don't think Gerald Ford did; but certainly Reagan and GHW Bush and GW Bush did.
